The Astros' eight wins tie them with the Baltimore Orioles (8-3) and Detroit Tigers (8-4) for the most in the American League.

The four righthanders the Astros face this week will be one fewer than they faced over their first 12 games.

George Springer's six home runs tie him with Yoenis Cespedes, Khris Davis and Eric Thames for the major league lead. Springer is the first Astros player with six homers through the team's first 12 games since Lance Berkman in 2006.
